Jeremiah 43:8-13 - He will come and attack Egypt

43:8-13

One does wonder how Pharaoh reacted if he saw Jeremiah burying his stones in front of the palace! Anyway, leaving that aside. This was symbolic of the attack that would come upon Egypt from Babylon, and marked where Nebuchadnezzar would set his throne. “Bringing to death those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and to the sword those destined for the sword.” This is reminiscent of words in Revelation (Rev 13:10).

The “gods” of Egypt would be destroyed. This is the fundamental error of the Israelites. They put more trust in the gods of Egypt than the Lord God!
